The problem isn't that the interface is down or disabled, from other suggestions yesterday it's become apparent that the routing table is being populated incorrectly when the gif interface is configured. No idea why. I've rebooted the server several times so any flags or strange config that's happened would have been removed anyway. I'm hoping somebody on here has some idea about it. Failing that I'm going to just give up and reinstall the server with 9.0 and assume it will work fine after that. I had planned on doing that anyway because I need to re-partition the HDD at some point. I just didn't want to have to do it until at least an RC was released so that I didn't have to rebuild ports again over the shared library version bump that usually happens between BETA and RC. Would be a shame if I can't fix it before that though because I'd like to understand what's gone wrong.
